Getting articles and content for Adsense.

I was curious if it violates the Google TOS to use articles from sites like ArticleCity.com

Article City is basically a site that has articles that authors have submitted and have given copyright permissions for them to be used on anyone's website as long as all the text remains unchanged and intact (including probably a hyperlink to the author's website).

I didn't find anything about whether using these types of articles is against the TOS, but I may have overlooked.

Does anyone know?

hours, not I. For a utility type area of a site - which is what I think of the tv listings as - if it can't be automated then it won't be done.
iirc, it's xml files from somewhere or other which I have cron fetch to keep the listings upto date. These xml files are then pulled in using php and displayed. The rss feeds are dynamically created, and what you see in a browser isn't exactly what is seen in an rss reader - the browser can still show adverts for an rss feed. One day I'll get around to sorting out the layout - it is a bit bland and not exactly optimized.

I think that you will change something in the text / delete some captions then everything will be ok. Just try not to just copy - paste.

really nice site..

tomecki: that would normally be going against the allowed usage of the article. You can avoid the DUP content filters without changing the article itself.

is it possible to grab those wrticles and insert them to your database automaticlly?

everything is possible. You can use perl/php script that will parse articles and put it in database.
